Updates and excitment!

Afternoon bloggers

No project update from me today but felt I needed to post something to the world and just wanted to share a few things;

Firstly, my cupcaket box has been a great hit, im really pleased... and my other half has given me a great idea to make another, but to take on a much darker theme this time... I dont want to give too much away as I am super excited but lets just say, where as my last one was a lovely happy 'eat me' inviting box... this new one will involve all the opposite... and as a real teaser.. i have just brought something specific for the project... Acetate! HmmmmM!!! :) My head is spinning with ideas!

Its my birthday this Sunday, and im being whisked away camping for this bank holiday weekend, so i wont be creating this weekend unfortunatly, but im trying to squeeze time where I can, especially as ive just brought a load of fun new embelishments (including some new colour stickles!! lol) ive got my hands on things i dont usually use with my projects, ribbon; lace, and twine! so im very curious to see what becomes of my new bag of stash... however its a birthday gift so i cant touch them until Sunday! eeek!

I also wanted to share a few new challenge blogs im loving at the moment:

House Of Cards
andInky impressions are looking like fab little challenge blogs, ive just applied to be on their DT, im not holding out huge hope because im still very new to this world, but hey, you never know until you try, right?

Im also very much looking forward to my digi stamp funds (yes, i get something similar to pocket money to buy my stamps with lol otherwise ill spend waaay tooo much! i have to limit myself lol) as ive found some adorable images and also a challenge blog over at: The Paper Shelter - check out those images! how sweet! im also dying to do something with the Saturated Canary images too as i have two of those to play with

All in all i need more time in my day but cant wait for the birthday fairy to bring my stash so I can have a play!

EDIT to add my excitement of my other birthday gift arriving today! My portrait sketch pens! Oh how I can't wait to play with these!

Happy birthday in advance!Hope you enjoy your camping weekend.Don't let the bugs bite.lol.Best of luck for your DT application too.Hope you make it.finger,toes,eyes crossed for you and also thank you for the links.I need to participate in more challenges too.

About Me

Im a butterfly! Not because im all pretty and I can fly... because I flutter from one creative idea or task to the next, never stopping long enough in the same place. Im easily distracted but always have the best intensions to stay long enough in a craft to master it! Follow me and my journey! I love reading about and being inspired by other people.. i dont bite, im a butterfly! :)
